VariAx 2 Distal Radius and Ulna Systems
The VariAx 2 Distal Radius and VariAx 2 Distal Ulna Plating Systems provides you with a comprehensive range of anatomic plating options that work with a common instrument and screw platform. Plates utilize SmartLock technology which permits polyaxial screw placement. You can angle locking screws up to 15˚in each direction for a total range of 30˚ providing you with the flexibility to position screws based on the patient, not a plate’s pre-existing design.

Anatomic Volar Plates
· Watershed line design allows for enhanced buttressing of DRUJ and volar lunate facet
· 2 pre-tilted radial styloid screw holes allow screws to capture radial styloid fragments
· Plate thickness: 2mm
· All circular holes capable of accepting 2.7mm and 2.4mm locking or non-locking screws or 2.0mm locking pegs
Dorsal and Fragment Specific Plates
Standard Dorsal Plate:
• SOMA designed
• 2mm thickness
• Styloid screw hole that can be bent if desired to patient’s needs
• Low plate profile and flush screws to minimize soft tissue irritation
• Buttressing of the complete dorsal rim
• Pre-angulated divergent screw trajectories distally
Lateral Plate:
• SOMA designed
• 2mm thickness
• Distal K-wire holes for paperclipping and additional small fragment fixation
Dorsal Medial Plate:
• SOMA designed
• 2mm thickness, 0.75mm distal taper thickness
• Sits medial to Lister’s Tubercle
• Distal K-wire holes allow for additional small fragment fixation using paper-clip technique.
Dorsal Lateral Plate:
• SOMA designed
• 2mm thickness, 0.75mm distal taper thickness
• Sits lateral to Lister’s Tubercle
• Distal K-wire holes allow for additional small fragment fixation using paper-clip technique.
Volar Rim Plate:
• SOMA designed
• 1.6mm thickness, 1.0mm distal taper thickness
• The vertical K-wire slots allow for distal or proximal adjustment and the horizontal K-wire slots allow for lateral or medial adjustment of the plate.
• Sits on volar lip at the lunate facet
• Hooks to grab small distal fragments, which cannot be fixed with screws
• K-wire holes can be used for placing sutures in the volar capsule
Distal Ulna Hook Plate:
• SOMA designed
• 1.5mm thickness
• Distal hook allows for fragment reduction by K-wire prior to plate fixation and plate can be slid over K-wire for final reduction
Distal Ulna Base Plate:
• SOMA designed
• 1.7mm thickness
• Distal screw cluster offers more fixation options in a narrow footprint.
Wrist Spanning Plate:
• SOMA designed
• 3mm thickness
• Offered in 2 lengths
• Clustered pairs of holes are designed to align with dorsal distal radius and bones of the carpus
• Tapered ends allow for easy plate sliding through ETC.
